Standing Alone
Janelle Watts



The only way to know if you're standing alone in this world...

Is from the bruises you get from falling.

My body has known the ails and aches of

life's lessons, and slowly I've begun to heal.

Excuse me Mister, can you play our song, you know

the song he and I once lived, the dance we once danced.

What, what's that you say, you've lost the tune. No

it's all right, everything in this world at some point time,

even your soul. Bartender, bring me something to help

wash away the pain, you don't have nothing to wash away

the pain. then bring me the strongest thing you got.

Daddy always said, you can find courage in a glass.

You always can tell, when you're standing alone, the

bruises on my heart can tell the tale.
